Title: Rouge Park Contest, May 20
Post by: Paul Smith on May 21, 2007, 08:43:43 PM

Here's a few pictures from Rouge, May 20.  A usual, the event was run by Mark Warwashana and Leon Rytarzyk.  I don't have "places & numbers" report, but in addition myself, Rick Essex flew, and a couple moe gents whose name I didn't get.  I'll amend this posting when Mark gives me some numbers.

I attempted to fly carrier for the first time since January 27, 1976.  I was able to get a nice High, and 100-point Landing, but the jury says my Low is still too high.  Anyway, a landing you can walk away from isn't bad.

The pictures don't show much, other than nice weather, a well-groomed circle, and that some carrier was happening.

I sort of did "win" 15 Profile Carrier, but I was the only person who flew the event.  There were also a few unreportable efforts at Classes I & II.

I got the numbers for Profile from Marc Warwashana.  It's like a "record trials" for the big guys, which is to say, "no record, no report".

PROFILE CARRIER   
   
1 Marc Warwashana       383.60   
2 Rick Essex                 319.90   
3 Gary Hull                    316.85   
4 Leon Rykrarsyk           285.85

According the Janaury 2007 Model Aviation, the record was (and still is) 391.5,,,close,,,very, very close.
